There are signs of fall all around. Schools are back in session and returning to the Audubon Center. Leaves are starting to change. Birds are migrating. Where did my summer go?

Today, I left work mid-afternoon and took a hour walk around the property and brought my camera. Saw a bunch of dragonflies and frogs (gray tree frogs, spring peepers, and wood frogs). I also saw a couple garter snakes and woodpeckers.I was also surprised to see so many of the leaves starting to change color already! It was a nice relaxing hike where I cleared my mind a bit and I got some fun photos.

For those of you keeping track, today was the 22nd day in a row that I worked at least a half day. When people ask me about the birds at the center, I always tell them that they are permanently injured and non-releasable. Lately, I have been feeling like the permanently injured, non-releasable intern. I am tired and starting to get a bit antsy. The good news is I have tomorrow off and will be heading off site. YAY!
